Graduate Scholarships

Scholarships for graduate school are not as plentiful as those for undergraduate, but they are out there.

Here is a short list of scholarships open to students working towards their master’s degree. To search online for additional scholarships, use terms that fit your personal circumstances and demographic. Scholarships might be available for returning adults, single parents, members of specific professional organizations, members of specific ethnic or religious groups, students preparing to work in specific fields, or students who live in a specific geographic area, for example.

These scholarships were active at the time that this list was created, but details often change. Check the specific scholarship-granting organization for current requirements and deadlines.
